I got the exact same problem with pburn 3.7.17 and when trying to boot via cli to see why it wouldn't start I got the same reply. So I made a "dummy file" by that name under "/root/.pburn/" - works fine now!

You just won't get any help documentation under "Help" on the menubar if I remember correctly until after you've started pburn. See, once you're finally able to do so that dummy file is replaced with a real help file.

At least this is how it worked on my Puppy systems. Anyone else's mileage may vary.

Out of interest, has anyone ever requested a feature to burn an encrypted data disk?
I started looking into this for making my own copies of things that I've produced at work, but then I decided I'd actually rather not encrypt them _________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here

I think if you encrypt the data as a file or possibly an iso first, then Pburn will just see the encrypted file as a bunch of ones and zeros and go ahead and burn it.

As you seem to realize, without the encryption key or password, an encrypted disk is a coaster. Encryption is just access control. Better to simply keep an unencrypted disk in a safe.

Yeah, it looks like the easiest way is to get aespipe and pipe the output of mkisofs through it. I don't need a safe - I decided if the data I'll be burning somehow got into the wrong hands it wouldn't really matter..._________________If you have or know of a good gtkdialog application, please post a link here

Why not do what programs like VLC are doing? Provide a set of 'basic' (simplified) options by default... and if someone wants to mess with the settings in more depth, they can switch the options to an 'advanced' selection.
